Figure 1-1. 32/64 bit PCI, 33 MHz PCI, 1 Gbit The HP Fibre Channel Adapter installs into a standard PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) slot. This adapter supports a high performance 64-bit PCI bus (backward compatible to 32-bit) with multiplexed address and data lines, and parity information. The PCI bus provides a high speed (up to 264/132 Megabytes/sec) path between the system board and the Fibre Channel Adapter. The HP Fibre Channel Adapter is a PCI Bus Master device and conforms to the

Figure 2-1. Installing Adapter GBIC Overview A GBIC converts internal electrical signals to external electrical or optical signals for transmission across the Fibre Channel media. The Fibre Channel cable inserts into the connector of the GBIC module. There are several types of GBIC modules currently available that can be used in the D8602B Fibre Channel Adapter. GBICs are “hot pluggable,” which means they can be plugged into, or pulled out of the Adapter while the power is applied. CAUTION Do no

CAUTION Inserting a passive GBIC without Fibre Channel device/ hub attached will cause an open loop condition. This open loop condition will prevent devices attached to the internal HSSDC connector from functioning. To avoid this situation, avoid inserting the passive GBIC until external Fibre Channel devices are attached to the passive GBIC. Installing the GBIC Select the type of GBIC module that is compatible with your system. Install the GBIC into the receptacle on the Adapter. Refer to Fig

Connecting Cables 1. If you are using an optical GBIC module, remove the dust plug covers protecting the optical connectors before inserting the fibre-channel cable. Save the dust plug covers for future use. 2. Select the correct cable that matches the GBIC you installed and install the end connectors into the GBIC. The GBIC and Fibre Channel cable are keyed, so they can only fit one way. Refer to Figure 2-3. on page 8 for optical cable connection and Figure 2-4. on page 9 for copper cable conne
